Sherlock Poems Won a Doylean Honors Award!

 

This week. The ACD Society (Arthur Conan Doyle) announced its annual Doylean Honors Awards.  They offer awards in five categories: “Fiction and Poetry,” “Performing Arts,” “Visual Arts,” “Scholarly Writing,” and “Lifetime Service.”  Winners receive a gift certificate to The Mysterious Bookshop and a certificate decorated with a doily (note the pun).

 

And my book Sherlock Poems won an award in the “Fiction and Poetry” category!  Not only that, but the short story collection Sherlock Holmes: Into the Fire, edited by Margie Deck, was also honored in the same category!  My story “The Revealed Room” is in that collection.

 

Huge thanks to the judges and congratulations to all of the other winners!
